When buying Merino please inform yourself about mulesing beforehand. Those sheep got bred so they have wrinkly skin, so more surface for wool growth. They suffer and likely die whe…

Not saying that you actually believe this, but because of mentioning "small farms" I want to highlight the fallacy of believing that in general smaller farms are better for animal …

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jk26iKx5GU If you eat meat, eggs, drink milk, you are supporting the things shown in the video.

Too bad I have to adjust my business cards for ꙮ.world

(a -> b) -> T a -> T b T (a -> b) -> T a -> T b (a -> T b) -> T a -> T b

It's part of the tokenizer. t contains data in the format of [char 0][char 1][base 64 encoded token id …], whereas the id is as long as the entry is smaller than 'b'. So it's ('++'…

Instead of the gawk manual, I recommend the OpenBSD manpage: https://man.openbsd.org/awk.1 It's concise and well written (as most OpenBSD manpages), so you can learn AWK even in le…

CSV to TSV via robust program, use AWK, and convert back if needed. Then you only have to remember the \\t\n\r escapes, not the whole quoting shenanigans.

In J (which might be slower than K) with excessive comments for a one-liner: echo@> (2{ARGV) -.&([: echo each line exit 0 On two ~1.6MB files with ~15k lines (both the same except …

Perfect! Thank you.

Still hoping for someone to design a font for J with ligatures so it can match APL's beauty for reading without making it more difficult to type, i.e. automatically rendering /: as…

There is a nice Tcl/Tk port of Acme: http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/ma/ma.html

Side note: The vel+pos example is a common one in ECS. It also often follow that you should put them in one type in the real world. However, nowadays thanks to SIMD instructions, i…

LABEL = sys._getframe().f_lineno print(1) j(LABEL)

That's quite fun (especially chain-capturing!), can't beat Alpha Beta 3 yet. Any reasons for Rule 6?

I think $IFS is only used by the shell (with read and expansions), not by e.g. sort. It is so at least on my system.

We took the wrong path quite some time ago. Most of the POSIX utils like sort, cut, grep only support \n (or sometimes \0) as row separator.

- Original position on the HN frontpage - Score - Link - Upvotes - Comments

Not really using it, I sort the frontpage by (votes/comments) to filter 'Comment sections that will devolve into discussions (see: condescending, pedantic arguments)' and their lin…

I use it for playing around with some game ideas, really liked the ease of it. Clean, compact API. Only nuisance is that SUPPORT_BUSY_WAIT_LOOP is defined in the defaults, so I can…

For text? Nah. Most apps automatically store photos on your device, and that's fine. Mobile phones have several GB for storage. That is enough for hundred thousands of messages, be…

You must link a client with a mobile device, but after that apparently you can use e.g. the Desktop client without your mobile phone turned on.

Yeah, I'm not sure about it. I'm not a security expert that can look at the protocol for some weeks and come to a conclusion. Believing them after they did things wrong is not very…
